Pandawa Beach was once Bali’s best-kept secret, but this beautiful cliffside location is now a popular beach for local tourism. Located at the bottom of a large cliff development, Pandawa Beach – known locally as Pantai Pandawa – is set to become the next Bali hotspot, so the sooner you can visit it the better.
If you’re planning a trip to this beautiful Bali beach, keep reading for all the information you need to know, including how to get there, how much it is and what to expect.
Best time to visit Pandawa Beach Bali
As with most tourist spots in Bali, the earlier you can get there the better. If you can arrive at Pandawa Beach in the morning before the bus loads of tourists, you’ll likely enjoy the beach a lot more. However, if mornings aren’t your thing, this is a great all-day beach.
How to get to Pantai Pandawa Beach Bali
By far the best way to get around Bali is by scooter – this island is just not made for cars. Most accommodations will be able to arrange a scooter rental for you, and if you hire for multiple days you can usually haggle down to around 60,000 IDR per day. If you’re not comfortable driving in Bali, you can always hire a private driver online.
Pantai Pandawa Beach is at the very bottom of Bali, south of Nusa Dua. As its popularity has increased, so has its infrastructure, meaning the road to the beach is well-developed and easy to navigate. It’s also one of the few beaches in the Bukit Peninsula that you can access without a massive hike.
